Hi,

After updating to Anka (all 181 packages) on 64 bit Pardus 2011.2, when I boot up, I get a modprobe fatal error message that scrolls for several minutes on black screen, stops and shows "services" then boots into graphical login page, and upon entering password I get following error:
"cannot open consolekit session: unable to open session: activation of org.freedesktop.consolekit timed out"

Yesterday I received the modprobe error, but was able to login successfully, but today I now get the consolekit error each time I try to boot into Anka.

I've included boot log. 

My desktop does not use wireless, but uses a dial up 56 k modem. Nvidia graphics driver is installed.

Could you attach syslog and Xorg.0.log files? They can give some tips.

Hi Dirse, and thank you very much.  I have now registered with the ozgurlukicin site.

baDibere, the syslog file is enormous in size - 174mb.   I have added attachments and broken up syslog into relevant parts.  

My set up is root on one ext4 partition and /home on another partition.

I had to boot into my other liinux distro.  When I open up the syslog file, for some reason kwrite hangs and my desktop hangs and I have to do a hard reboot, and then upon reboot, I can't boot into pardus.  Most times I can't boot into pardus at it hangs after waiting more than ten minutes.
and:

Edit to add more info:
dmesg shows only "microcode: CPU0: family 15 not supported"
open 'top' in konsole shows
57% - 60% cpu usage by udevd

my cpu is amd athlon 64 fx-57
Code:
~$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/arch/x86/kernel
cpu  microcode.ko
~ $ ls /lib/modules/3.2.5/kernel/arch/x86/kernel
microcode.ko
~ $

with cpu being a directory. which is missing from 3.2.5

I followed the temporary fix, comment 118,  at this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690930
by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-microcode.conf
with line
blacklist microcode

and now my system boots properly and I no longer have high cpu usage by udevd

I am not certain if I need to have microcode-ctl installed since I use an amd processor, not intel processor.  On the other hand, microcode-ctl, version: 1.17, release: 22 did work with the previous kernel 2.6.37.6 and my amd cpu.
